IMPORTANT
A parallel beam of light is incident on a face of a 60° prism. By rotating the prism, the minimum angle of deviation is measured to be 40°. Find the refractive index of the prism material. If the prism is placed in water (refractive index 1.33), then what would be the new minimum angle of deviation?
